Ce petit boîtier mini a remplacé la tour de mon ordinateur. Je n y croyais pas. Vitesse d'enregistrement, en 1 clic, tout change de page, et puis, nombres de dossiers à y mettre, photos etc..merveilleux. Peut être pas fait pour des jeux en ligne, mais pour la famille!! Top..je fais même fonctionner un site avec plus de rapidité que ma tour qui n acceptait pas Windows 11.

Sto usando il GMKtec G3 Plus Mini PC da un po' di giorni ormai e, nel complesso, sono davvero soddisfatto. Per essere così compatto, gestisce le attività quotidiane sorprendentemente bene. Che si tratti di navigazione, streaming multimediale, server multimediale o retrogaming, si comporta egregiamente. Le caratteristiche che spiccano di più per me sono la silenziosità e la gestione termica. Anche sotto carico, come durante lo streaming prolungato di video in 4K o con molte schede del browser aperte, rimane incredibilmente silenzioso. Il rumore della ventola è minimo, quasi impercettibile in una stanza normale, e le temperature interne si aggirano tra i 40 e i 60°C, raramente superando i 70°C anche sotto stress. Il tutto con il sistema termico di fabbrica, senza bisogno di modifiche. Internamente, monta RAM DDR4 (3200 MHz), il che è buono per un uso generale. Detto questo, avrei gradito il supporto per DDR5, che avrebbe offerto una maggiore larghezza di banda per i videogiochi e l'emulazione di giochi retrò. Questa è una considerazione di poco conto. Infatti, dopo aver testato l'unità con emulatori e benchmark, la differenza di frame rate tra DDR4 e DDR5 è minima. Il G3 Plus è molto buono specialmente grazie alla silenziosità e le basse temperature anche sotto carico. Per quanto riguarda lo storage, le prestazioni dell’SSD NVMe sono state una piacevole sorpresa. Il drive M.2 NVMe da 512 GB incluso (PCIe 3.0 x4) ha raggiunto circa 2.400 MB/s in lettura e 1.700 MB/s in scrittura nei test con CrystalDiskMark. Velocità più che adeguata per l’avvio, l’apertura delle app e il trasferimento di file di grandi dimensioni. Inoltre, è presente uno slot M.2 2280 aggiuntivo per espansione futura (solo SATA). Porte e connettività sono ottime: doppia HDMI 2.0 (4K @ 60Hz), Ethernet 2.5Gb, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 e quattro porte USB-A. L'assenza della USB-C è prevedibile in un miniPC di questa fascia. In sintesi, se stai cercando un mini PC silenzioso, fresco ed efficiente dal punto di vista energetico per l’uso quotidiano, il G3 Plus è un’ottima scelta. Non è pensato per il gaming intenso o la creazione di contenuti pesanti, ma è eccellente come PC per l'ufficio domestico, per l'emulazione fino a ps2 xbox e gamecube, e il gaming leggero, o come box multimediale. Gli do 5 stelle su 5.

Been using this to run Plex for the last 6 months. Flawlessly handles two 4k in-house streams and have had no issues with it. Doesn't make a sound, albeit a bit hot on touch. Definitely recommend!

For the first 24 hours, I was really impressed. Really snappy performance, 8 GB of RAM was plenty for simple tasks, and the SSD was capacious at 256 GB, considering the price. The inclusion of Windows Pro made the box almost free! However, after updating to Windows 11 Build 22H3, during the process of applying updates, the computer locked up. After 60 minutes with the computer no longer visible on the network and the keyboard and mouse non-responsive, pulled the power cord. Upon restoring power and turning on the computer, the PC was stuck for hours at the spinning circle during boot. Two more power-cycles and Windows repair interface appeared. Selected Windows Reset, Local Source (wouldn't work with cloud source), Windows began resetting. However, after a restart, computer back to the infinitely spinning circle. :-( If this had proved reliable, I'd have bought a dozen or more as remote monitoring PCs for client networks. But given that I've had good luck with the similarly priced AWOW models, I will not be investing any more money or time in the GMKTek offerings. Update 01-07-2024 ----------------------- Fortunately, GMKTek provides a download for a Windows 11 re-installation ISO. With this and leveraging a fair amount of knowledge of Windows installation options, was able to re-image the SSD. Unfortunately, the product key is invalidated and I had to use a spare Windows 10 product key to re-activate Windows. Unfortunate the GMKTek hasn't worked out the same relationship with Microsoft that Dell has, whereby any Windows 11 ISO used to load Windows onto a Dell OptiPlex results in an automatically activated Windows 11 installation. Bottom line is that after recreating and updating all apsects of the re-installed Windows 11 OS, the PC is back to running normally. I know to steer clear now of some driver updates. The PC has been running for about 36 hours and I'll post an update if that changes in the near future. When this PC works, it represents a great value for the money in terms of hardware specs and a Windows 11 license. However, taking into account the time issue remediation takes and the expertise required, the TCO (total cost of ownership) rises significantly. If I never have to do brain surgery on this device again, I'll still feel the cost was justified based on the performance of this sub-$200 device. P.S. I now make a complete image backup before running/installing ANY updates so I can simply restore the image backup rather than running into yet another Windows 11 re-installation process and the requirement to use/purchase another Windows product key. P.P.S. The WIndows 11 re-installation ISO download was 11 GB and was not a standard Windows 11 installation ISO. This had to be burned to a flash drive (I used a 16 GB USB3 model; I used Rufus to create the bootable UEFI flash drive) and then the GMKTek PC booted with it. Upon boot, I was faced with a terminal window and a couple of choices. The one I chose led to an image/sysprep process that fortunately got the PC bootable once again with Windows 11 Pro. P.P.P.S. Highly recommended --> As soon as you boot the device for the first time, find a tool such as ProduKey by NirSoft and extract and save the Windows 11 product key. Ideally (although I didn't have a chance to test), this key would work if a re-install was ever required. The other option, that I was waiting for until the PC was fully updated, is to create an image backup using any number of tools, including the image backup tool in Windows. Thus, if any of your update processes results in a non-bootable PC, you can simply re-image from the backup and avoid having a non-activated instance of Windows 11. Update 01-12-2024 ----------------------- Vendor reached out proactively and offered some assistance, although I'd resolved the corrupt Windows 11 issue independently. However, that level of customer support is remarkable considering the price of this product and the lack of such support from other vendors with much pricier offerings. Due to this, upgrading the rating to four stars. Update 01-13-2024 ----------------------- Customer support proactively reached out and provided a product key so I could activate Windows 11 and free up my personal product key. GMKtec's proactive reaching out to a customer with issues is almost unparalleled in my experience over 40 years, so despite the issues I encountered, I'm raising my review to five stars. For a product this inexpensive but with excellent performance, providing this level of customer support is laudable.
